Menards

I bought the menards pre made 100’ fence panel kit. The kit came with posts cement 6’x8’ premade fence panels and enough material to install a gate and all hardware needed.

The kit cam with 12 panels My problem is that on three of the panels the runners were about a foot from the top and bottom while the rest were six inches. Now my fence looks shoddy and uneven not symmetrical. The fence panels themselves are trash. The first and last picket were hanging over the runners so the panel was longer than eight feet. When my poles were set at eight feet apart so the panels fit between.

The runners were also not the same from end to end compounding the problem. These panels could have been built in a jig but looks like they were made in a meth lab or something. I had to cut both sides of every panel to make them work. The pickets themselves were cupped warped knotted up split and chipped on the ends. I’ll spend a lot of time replacing the bad ones. All and all very poor quality and zero quality control on menards part. These are junk. I calculated it is also much cheaper to buy the components and build my own panels. Then I can choose my lumber and get some quality at a cost savings.
